door/window opening detectors with fixed tamper alarm on lightsys

Sat, 03 May 2025 14:32:40 +0000

Hello Everyone,

After a very long renovation and subsequent complete rewiring of the alarm system, I have returned to activating the lightsys alarm.

Unfortunately, however, some door opening detection sensors, connected via radio, continuously give the tamper alarm.

In particular, 3 sensors out of 9 have this problem.

What could have happened?

I have already changed all the battery.

Thanks for your availability.

Best regards

Texecom Veritas R8 with Deltabell

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 20:54:19 +0000

Hi, just installed my first Texecom Veritas R8, using existing old devices (PIR',s) everything is working as it should be, had to replace the old Bell for a Deltabell, but any time I set the system and it arms it sets the bell off for about 4 seconds then stops, it's like it's acting as a speaker to let you know the system is set, the keypad isn't the LED Display one so kind of limited to the installers manual but cannot see anything that leads to turning that off so it doesn't trigger the bell when set.

Anybody had this and know what to do to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 11:29:42 +0000

Hi,

Is there a recommended way to attach 3 x wired Deltabell X to the Enforcer v.11 panel? Either directly or with additional hardware?

The kit has been bought some time ago so looking to make use of it.

Many thanks,

Pyronix Enforcer V10 Mains Fail Fault

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 21:38:29 +0000

Hi, I don't tend to ask for help on anything fire/security but find myself stuck, I have a pyronix Enforcer panel and it keeps getting a mains absent fault with the first warning light on top of the panel. Then it has shown a control panel - mains fail fault with the 4th light on at the top, I have replaced the panel but still same issue, client got a spark out to run a new cable from the board next to the panel and put in a new spur, checked voltage and power to system, I also checked voltages when there and no drop, 240v at mains/spur side and 13-15v at Stepdown for panel side, anybody ever had this issue? Need this sorted ASAP and it's doing my head in now. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Yes or no. Sounder volume can be adjusted on an ADT galaxy panel.

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 11:14:18 +0000

Hi. We have a legacy ADT alarm panel (Honeywell galaxy) and I have a simple question.

Is it possible to lower the internal sounder volume?

Basically, when I part set the ground floor before going up to bed, the setting tone beeps (same when doing full set) but it is very loud and this wakes up our children sleeping upstairs.

So any way to lower/disable the countdown noise?

Thanks

Help Choosing a User-Friendly Control Panel for Small Office Setup

Tue, 13 May 2025 07:07:51 +0000

Hi everyone,

I’m setting up a small office and need advice on choosing a reliable and easy-to-use control panel for basic security needs. We’ll have a few indoor cameras, door sensors, and maybe a small access control system. It’s not a large setup, but I want something secure and user-friendly, especially for staff who aren’t very tech-savvy.

I’ve looked into a few options like Texecom and Pyronix, but I’m still unsure what’s best for a small environment. Are there any systems that offer good mobile app support and easy configuration?

Also, on a side note, I’ve been learning data visualization to better understand security patterns and found a helpful online. It’s great for analyzing logs and activity trends, so I thought others here might find it useful too.

Would love to hear your recommendations on control panels and any lessons learned from similar installs.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
D Paulsen

PowerMaster 10 – Trouble resetting after power cut

Tue, 06 May 2025 06:34:39 +0000

Hi all,
I’ve got a Visonic PowerMaster 10 panel and after a recent power cut, it’s showing a “system not ready” message and won’t arm. I’ve checked the battery and power supply, and everything seems fine now. Is there a reset process I need to follow or something I might be missing?

Cheers!

gardtec800 series engineer locked

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 11:13:09 +0000

crazy question and i think i know what your all gonna say. but is there a way around the locked engineer code? on other panels you can fully reset everything with a specific link somewhere. just wondering if anyone knows a way on this panel. it's for a charity shop so they cant pay the silly prices the original installation company want to come out and put a code in (£200). worse case would be a new panel, but i was hoping you guys might beable to help out.

i have done the option 1 9 #REMOVED#, which reset the engineer code back to #REMOVED', but when i try to get in it says its locked.

Thanks in advance for any help guys.

Adding an additional Honeywell CP038 to Galaxy system

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 08:03:08 +0000

I'd like to have an additional keypad for my alarm system. Is it straightforward to add one? It will be right next to the main Galaxy panel.

Will it need to be configured in any way?

Many thanks.

Elmdene 8 ohm speakers reduce volume

Tue, 18 Feb 2025 15:11:17 +0000

I have 2 of these run in series and the customer is saying they are too loud

They are connected to a Texecom Premier Elite 24 and being used with the Chime facility

Is it possible to dial down the volume by wiring in something that’s adjustable so they can fiddle with it themselves and then I don’t have to keep adjusting it myself

The product is this one:

New GSM Autodialler with older C&K Securit 800L Panel - Advice pls

Mon, 03 Mar 2025 15:06:12 +0000

My house alarm has a fully working C&K Securit 800L Panel with a analogue SD1+ autodialler. BT have now 'upgraded' my phone line to digital and the autodialler is now redundant.

I've purchased and fitted a GJD710 GSM Communicator with the 3 existing wires coming from the panel (+ - and trigger). This works and the dialler rings my mobile when the panel is activated.

My problem is that the when the old autodialler rang my mobile, I would press 8 on my mobile keypad and the alarm & siren would switch off. I can't see anyway the new communicator can do this.

Does anyone have any advice so I can get this working as before ? Thanks

Risco Lightsys2 - main power to panel keeps cutting out.

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 10:25:20 +0000

Hi all,

I have the above alarm system. In the last couple days it was doing abnormal things.

To start with, all PIR sensors stopped working, but the contact sensors were fine (both types are hard wired).

Then I started getting a low battery notification in events (battery was changed last year). Then it seemed there is no power at all to the main panel or the keypad.

Now when I remove and reinsert the fuse just before the panel, the system powers on, but only for like 5 minutes or so and the whole thing switches off again. Whilst it is powered on, the PIR sensors still do not seem to be in a ready state.

Is there anything I can do/check before calling out an installer (alarm is not currently under a maintenance plan)?

Thanks.
